SARAH'S HUSBAND RETURNS FROM IRAQ
...AND...
ANOTHER GRANDSON IS BORN!

Jared arrived from Iraq on Sunday, August 23rd, around 11:00 a.m. He came close to missing their baby being born 'cause Sarah started having contractions the night before. (Her due date wasn't until August 29th!)




That afternoon Sarah & Jared tried to relax and enjoy finally being together again while Sarah continued to have contractions into the evening. They left for the hospital around 3:00 a.m.






Home from the hospital. All went well! Jared, Jr. was born on Monday, August 24th, at 4:32 pm! He weighed 7lbs, 15oz and was 22 inches long.



Just a few days old.




Two weeks old.





Sarah's brother Ben along with his wife, Marilyn, and son, Aaron were able to travel from Pennsylvania to see Sarah, Jared and their baby, Jared, Jr.






Though Aaron's only 9 months old he LOVES books! I couldn't believe it when I caught him doing this! Laying on his tummy and reading his book. How cute is that!




"Yah, I'm something; ain't I!"

Dave & I went to the Philippines!!

Hello!
If going to the Philippines isn't worth getting back to blogging...well, actually I do need to update our family pics too. Ben & Marilyn now have a 6 month old baby, Aaron David; Sarah & Jared are expecting a baby boy on August 29th; Justin & Amy had their third child, a boy, in January. We have been blessed with a growing family!
But for now, here's some pics I took on our missions trip in June. Dave & I are going to see if we can figure out how to post the newsletter we just completed so we can share our experience via my blog. And I'll get family pics up too. Till then, hope all is well with you all!
